Look for Your Pay Advice in the Mail

By the end of this month (December) you should receive a copy of your December pay advice in the mail. If you do not receive it, perhaps you have moved and we do not have your new address. You can verify your address by logging into your Web Member Services account by clicking this link. We send out pay advices in December because it includes information you might need to prepare your 2024 tax return. We also mail out pay advices in January and July each year as well.

Did Your Benefit Payment Amount Change?

You may have noticed that your benefit payment has changed. This can happen for several reasons:

• In December, your benefit payment amount will change if you have County health insurance and the premium amount changes. 
• In January, your benefit payment amount may change due to changes in Federal and/or Virgina State tax withholding amounts.

When Will You Receive Your Tax Information?

As a retiree you receive a 1099-R form each year that you will need to prepare your taxes. You may recall that when you were an active employee you received a W-2 form. The 1099-R form is similar but is geared specifically for retirees. We send these 1099-R forms in mid-January, so you should receive it in the mail by early February at the latest.

You can also go online and print one for yourself by logging into your Web Member Services (WMS) account. Click the link below to access WMS.
